It's a mystery to me why apparently principled people with a huge following on X remain there. Maybe they've convinced themselves that that's where the battles will be won?

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

Unions don’t just fight for wages – we fight for justice. When ICE arrested David Huerta, they didn’t just attack one leader. They attacked the entire movement. This is solidarity. This is our moment. #FreeDavidHuerta #FreeThemAll

"The order...will intensify tensions between the Trump administration and California". Except that it's not 'California' on the streets, it's people. The tension is between Trump and a caring but seriously pissed off population. on.ft.com/4kqUF1L

1🧵We are grateful to @TheLancet for showing climate leadership by extending its ethical advertising ban to the banks funding the fossil fuel crisis. It is time for all medical organisations to divest their banking and investments away from climate destroying infrastructure.

Republicans are on the verge of passing a budget bill that would amount to one of the greatest transfers of wealth from the working poor to the super rich. And two billionaire oligarchs are fighting about it because the bill doesn't cut vital social programs enough. Hello?

So much in this post - 'Day 250' - is heart breaking. But it was the note that "9000-plus Palestinians prisoners [are] on hunger strike in Israel now" which particularly struck me. I hope Laila lives to see her son released.

Bad leadership is rarely solely an individual activity. It is usually supported, scaffolded, emulated, promulgated, distributed, impacting at every level of an organisation. Undoing it is equal parts archaeology, surgery and demolition.

This is an insane perversion of the powers entrusted to a president. What law did those students break? How exactly do they threaten national security? If a president allowed to lawlessly destroy any private institution he hates, United States democracy has ended. Take action to save it.
